West Seattle scene: Google Street View car making rounds

| Seen around town | West Seattle news | West Seattle online

When photographer/musician extraordinaire Trileigh Tucker told us she’d heard a Google Street View car was in West Seattle today, we didn’t believe it until Meredith shared the photo via Facebook (the picture’s from Pigeon Point). Trileigh’s suggestion is that we all go put “I (Heart) West Seattle” signs outside our homes/apartments/whatever just in case the GSV car drives past. (We know they’ve been here in a previous July – if you look up California/Edmunds, the view you see includes West Seattle Summer Fest tents and road-closure barricades!)

Can someone go turn off my WIFI? :-)

I’m confused. What is it? Why are they here? Why do we care?

A, that car takes the pictures you see on the “street view” of maps.google.com… Check it out if you never have before, it’s quite useful. The car is also notorious because people in European nations like to sue Google for invasion of privacy or somesuch. LOL.

Beware, they can and will take pictures from alleys over 6 foot fences into your backyard and post on their site. That’s what they did to me and I was not pleased.
